Fuzzy hair and a bowler hat





Thought you'd see a sweet outfit here by now? Well, that'll take a litte while. Possibly 'til after next weekend. Possibly one with a tea-cup hat.

I just wanted to show of my hair. I now have a crimping iron, and it makes teasing my hair about 20 times easier.

Att käfta eller konsumera

Så, den senaste tiden har jag läst fler och fler bloggar. Bevare oss väl. Jag har kommit fram till någonting.

De flesta bloggar är väl modebloggar, ja, det visste alla. Folk som skriver var man kan hitta det där nya snygga smycket någonstans och visar bilder på dagens outfit. Det är trevligt, visst. För trevligt ska det vara. Man kan skriva en blogg där man visar upp sin egen förträffliga smak och vad man åt till lunch eller bakade. Man kan skriva en blogg där man ger råd till folk inom en viss stil och gör tutorials och visar hur man bör bära håret. Det är alltid trevligt och nästan alltid ganska snällt.

Men allt handlar på sätt och vis om konsumtion. Inte bara när man visar upp nya kläder man köpt, utan även när man skriver om hur man bäst bär upp den nya mori girl-möter-lolita-trenden. Allt handlar om det man ska införskaffa, det man ska se, det man ska höra; kort sagt, det man ska konsumera. Ja, på sätt och vis även bloggar om musik och böcker och mat och livstil i allmänhet och gud vet vad. Det du tillförskansar dig definierar dig. Jippi.

"Vad kan man skriva om annars då da?", undrade jag. Tydligen inte så mycket, om det ska vara intressant nog att läsa. Man kan käfta, det är den uppenbaraste lösningen. För ingen skriver snällt och trevligt om teorier som intresserar dem och saker de varit med om och iakttagit, det är ju inget kul. Man måste granska och politisera allt och banne den som sysslar med så ytliga saker som "dagens outfit". Nä, man ska argumentera, och argt ska det göras. Hela tiden, utan pauser. Att käfta är det enda vettiga man kan göra i en blogg.


Eller så gör man både och, som jag. Åh herregud, jag avlider.

Den som har ett förslag på ett bättre sätt att blogga, snälla berätta för mig. Och säg inte att jag ska blogga om min vardag, för min vardag består av att käfta och konsumera kultur.

In English:
A small rant about how pretty much all blogging essentially boils down to two concepts: consuming(be it fashion, music, whatever) and (often quite angry)argueing about different subjects. And also a plea; please help me realise what else there is to blog about.

Oh dear, how meta is this? I'm blogging about blogging.

Really old picture



I found this picture from when I was 16-17 or something... I need to do this outfit + hair again. It'll be fun with my new super-red hair twice the length of the old one. I used to think my hair was red when I was 16. Now it really just looks brown with slight hints of bordeaux.

Cherry Blossoms and a Lolita Flea Market


On Saturday me and some friends went to look at the pretty cherry blossoms at Kungsträdgården and then have a fika.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fika_%28coffee_break%29
I love how wikipedia seriously has an article on that.



A guy told me I looked like Amelie Poulain would if she was a gothic lolita. I thought that was sort of adorable.

Sunday I went to TokyoStops Lolita Flea Market. (Yes, there are a lot of themed flea markets in Sweden for some reason!)


This is what I bought:










An ordinary monday-outfit


Oh, look, a casual outfit.






Yay, winklepickers!

Some friends got really confused this weekend when they saw me in all black gothic lolita with a Louise Black skeleton-corset and with this wig. Said it wasn't like me at all. Hrrmm, I have the feeling more of my "lolita friends" (isn't that a silly expression?) need to see me out of lolita. Since half the time I look like... this. So it's totally like me. I pretty much only wear color in sweet/classic lolita or fairy kei. Possible little hints of color in vintage-y outfits. Otherwise it's 90% black and 10% white. And lots of sort of peculiar stuff. Like my anatomically correct heart earrings. And lots of ugly-pretty clothes. You know, ugly-pretty. When something is ugly and pretty at the same time, or possibly so ugly it's pretty. "Fulsnygg" in swedish. One of my favourite phenomenas.

My style shifts all the time. But for some reason I mostly wear lolita when around other lolitas. I'm not sure why.

By the way...
I really don't understand why so many people in the lolita subculture hate wigs these days... Wigs are awesome, especially if you don't feel like styling your hair or you're having a bad hair-day. Or if you're simply a shape-shifter born in the wrong body.
Just find one that actually suits you. And cut the fringe to suit your face. There, done.
I always wear wigs when I have bad hair-days. Bad hair-days are really quite noticable when you have 75 cm long, very red hair.

Dream of Me



I forgot to put this here! Why did I forget to put this here? Aaaaah!
Yeah, okay, you can sort of expect me to upload outfit pics from ages ago now and then for all eternity, because I tend to forget about uploading when they're new.

Last weekend

Yeah, I know. "Hello, slow updater!" I had a busy week. I always have busy weeks.
Anyhow, last Saturday I went to a vintage fair with my dear friend Agnes, who unfortunatly dislikes to have her picture taken.

This is what I looked like then:







I found absolutely nothing to buy, unfortunatly. Except for things that costed like 2000 SEK and I can't really afford that right now. Afterwards, we went to Petite France and I ate the prettiest little macaron thingy I've ever seen.




On Sunday there was a lovely picnic with some lovely girls:

Sometimes, I wear clothes.







Music-list-thingy

1. Placebo
2. Siouxsie and the Banshees
3. Cinema Strange
4. Bone Orchard
5. Southern Death Cult
6. The Glove
7. UK Decay
8. Danielle Dax
9. Christian Death
10. Nouvelle Vague


What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Orgy. Which is a fucking wonderful song.
A disease is under my fingernails, it stains me like a tattoo.

What is your favorite song of 8?
Pariah. Or possibly Fizzing Human-Bomb.

What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?
Err... Their music was sort of my companion during my early teens. I listened to them every time I felt down, and then I felt better.

What are your favorite lyrics of 5?
Well, that's easy. The ones to Moya.
The kids of the coca-cola nation
Are too doped up to realise
That time is running out

What is your favorite song by 7?
Decadence. One of my favourite songs of all time.

Is there any song by 3 that makes you sad?
Not really. However, they really don't make me happy either. Some, like "Catacomb Kittens", make me sort of... melancholic?

What is your favorite song by 9?
Mysterium Iniquitatis.

When did you first get into 2?
When I was fourteen.

How did you get into 3?
Err... God, that happened a long time ago, I barely remember anymore. I think I was fourteenish, just starting to get into goth music, and googled for any good modern bands that were inspired by that kind of music. And there they were.

What is your favorite song by 4?
Shall I Carry the Budgie Woman?, which is absolutely fantastic.

How many times have you seen 9 live?
None, durrh. The line-up of this band that I actually like is long gone.

What is a good memory concerning 10?
Summers in the park, a little fling in the spring, dancing like a crazy person. A lot.

Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
No! They all make me very happy!

What is your favorite song of 1?
Sleeping With Ghosts.

Make-up from Urban Decay

You can't relly get ahold of stuff from Urban Decay in Sweden, and for some reason there's really few webshops that feel like shipping their make-up here... Which makes me sort of sad 'cause they're my favourite brand of make-up. Anyhow I finally managed to get ahold of some things from there and they arrived this week.

And I feel like I'm getting kind of good at this whole photography-thing.

Love Is The Slug - We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It

I'm really addicted to this song right now... I've been listening to it on repeat for an hour. And the video is so adorably silly!

Pictures with bats and Angelic Pretty

I should be working on an assignment for school, but I'm procrastinating as always. So, instead I'm uploading some pictures from last week.


Unecessary bats <3


An outfit I wore when hanging out with Sigrid, Hanna and Elli.


Better, non-photoshoped picture.

I haven't been updating because I'm lazy!

I feel like perhaps I should start updating this and make something more interesting out of it?

Oh, well.

Until I know what to make of this, enjoy a picture of my lolita dresses hanging in my wardrobe.
